Comments by "Gareth Hart" (@tgheretford) on "Better Bachelor" channel.

  1. People who use the term incel as an insult are actively admitting that they only value men based on one characteristic - his ability to attract a partner. If a man valued women based on one characteristic, they would label him misogynistic and demand his cancellation.

  2. Here's a disturbing thought - now a "mid" has got with the richest man in the world, now all the "mid's" will believe they are a ten who can get a ten. This will just make things worse in the dating market.

  3. Emotion is a very effective tool that is used to get people to be on their side and turn against you. Doesn't work with me, I can see straight through it. Had a work colleague a long time ago get angry with me and I did not flinch. She knew it wouldn't work and walked off admitting such.
    73
  4. In other words, she demands that "real" men know their place, do as they're told and keep quiet. She sees men as beneath her and with absolute contempt.
    51
  5. The question then becomes, what's the alternative? Statistically everything in real life excluding bars and nightclubs have collapsed and meeting people for dating IRL has become a social taboo.
    27
  6. And the 2's won't reply. And this is an above average person. Your average person doesn't have a hope in the dating market.
    24
  7. It's like a multi-millionaire who doesn't understand the concept of poverty because they've been shielded from it and then when finding out about it, just telling the poor to "just be rich bro".
    19
  8. The problem for these women is that attractive men also took the hint. Buyers remorse.
    19
  9. I suspect the assumption is someone who drinks in moderation, as opposed to someone with a drinking problem. Would be interesting to see how many would outright reject teetotallers?
    19
  10. Society treats the red pill as well as evolutionary psychology in the same way we deal with mortality. We know it's inevitable and reality but like to deny it and state an alternative reality instead (the "soulmate") for comfort and cognitive dissonance.
    17
  11. But still demands six feet, six figures, six pack...
    16
  12. I can do one better. If you live in the UK, you won't legally be able to criticise any woman soon.
    13
  13. Seeing the same thing in the dating market. Women increasingly would rather share a high status male or be alone than be faithful to one man who she sees as beneath her.
    12
  14. Attractive men don't have to ask women out. if you have to ask a woman out, you've already lost.
    11
  15. And yet if a man made fun of a single woman on a train for being single, telling her to enjoy her cats and saying that she'll never find a man, that man would be recorded by someone, confronted by others angry at his behaviour, that video would go viral on social media, he would be identified and doxed, he would be arrested, charged and jailed, lose his job, his home and his status.
    11
  16. The rhetoric from activists of late would make your analogy of dating for women change to complaining not only about the sauce, but the presence of commoners in the restaurant who should not be allowed to enter the premises in the first place.
    11
  17. And continue to do so when they're in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s... And yes, I see the same attitude and behaviour with single women approaching retirement as I do with young single women.
    10
  18. Increasingly the rhetoric, particularly in the UK, is morphing that it's not just short men that are not considered human beings. It's unattractive men. More like criminals than human beings, hence why there is a push to criminalise such unattractive behaviour and individuals in order to make society "safe" for women and girls.
    10
  19. @steven Detractors use the term bachelor and Incel interchangeably.

  20. Happy International Men's Day everyone. Not that you'll be told that from the mainstream media.

  21. The "Red Pill" is to the modern day what heliocentrism was in the 17th century.
    8
  22. Describes me too and I've made that perfectly clear with zero disambiguation for anyone who asks me why I haven't met anyone yet. Why would I waste time on being persistently rejected while having my finances and self-esteem repeatedly hit in the bargain?
    8
  23. What I find when it comes to judging a man's zero body count is that most men don't judge - it tends to come (in general) from women and male feminist allies.
    8
  24. They certainly do not want to create men who could challenge their dominance and topple them from their position.
    8
  25. Ironically, the financial model of online dating today is the same as the lottery and gambling. People go on for the thrill of the chase, the hope they will hit the jackpot and just like with gambling, the game is rigged to ensure the house wins and that big wins (long term relationships for dating apps) are limited and rare.
    7
  26. We now also have the concept of "hypergamy floats" in play as well. The bar for men as what is deemed the bare minimum is getting higher and increasing numbers of men can not and will never clear the bar.
    7
  27. Bumble doesn't solve the issue because it allows men lower than 8/10 to be on the app. Same problem with Tinder. Or Match. Or any other dating app or site. That's the underlying issue that women have, including the author of this article, have with dating.
    7
  28. It's known as "hypergamy floats".
    6
  29. It's predominately about genetics that gets your foot in the door. Gym can help with frame but it keeps being sold as the solution to all of life's problems. But the gym can't make you taller, give you a square jawline if you don't already have one, change half your personality traits or fix genetic abnormalities. You can't pass on good shoes, a good suit or a trimmed beard to your offspring. After the initial first impression comes social status as the key factor for attraction. People should go to the gym for self-improvement, not as a solution. And nowadays, I have observed that women are increasingly going to the gym to find physically attractive partners and using is as a compliment to online dating while complaining about unattractive men being in their presence.
    6
  30. A UK TV/radio station this week was making the insulation that Tate was the leader of bachelors, to have the viewer and listener assume that single men were being radicalised and that was why society and dating is toxic for women. They are not just coming for men's content, they're coming for a growing subset of men if the proposed UK law is anything to go by - and no, it doesn't just target cat-calling and wolf-whistling.
    6
  31. She's not yours, its just you turn confirmed by science. Also, Briffault's Law.
    6
  32. Increasingly now, good guys don't finish.
    6
  33. In before the inevitable "misogynistic ignorance" from the press.
    5
  34. Not quite. It should be: 1) The presence of unattractive men makes us unhappy 2) The absence of attractive men makes us unhappy
    5
  35. At this point, finding anyone who fits those requirements and are not in a long term relationship is like trying to find a unicorn that coughs up banknotes on command.
    5
  36. Alas, like with Twitch streamers and OnlyFans content, only a small number of craving men spending all of their income on them is what is needed to sustain them and encourage others to join.
    4
  37. Then they seek the "retirement plan" from the doctors, surgeons, accountants and tradesmen who are on the dating apps.
    4
  38. That will also be an offence under this proposal. Scottish men will only have two options - get a partner or go to jail.
    4
  39. Look up the posters that were put up in Bristol in the UK in the last week. It's already here.
    4
  40.  @joemachine4714  Not any more. They don't want the "beta bux". Such men have been replaced by the state, alloparenting, technology and so forth.
    4
  41. The problem is, a key criteria that men get judged on is whether they have a partner and if they don't, by choice or not, it is seen by society as a bad point against you. It is what it is.
    4
  42. Yesterday, a British MP on the BBC gave Internet companies an ultimatum - ban pornography or we will (beyond the Online Safety Bill). We've had a rash of evolutionary psychologists and conservative commentators calling single men cowards. There's a moral panic happening right now in real time in the UK and potential new laws coming down the line based on unwanted attention/communication and offence with women. And you wonder why single men do not want to integrate into a society that demonises, shames and belittles them, never mind being ignored by those with an agenda who want to hijack discussion points?
    4
  43. Buyers remorse
    4
  44. He was banned from campus. He was lucky the Police didn't arrest him for harassment.
    4
  45. Now we have the scientific data to prove it. Which also means everyone who claimed it was the top 1% of men are technically correct, the best form of correct.
    4
  46. It's basic evolutionary psychology and something most men note when he has a new girlfriend/wife.
    4
  47. They're not. They're cheering her on.
    4
  48. I was shocked that the person who wrote this article is in a long term marriage. Experts and coaches are usually long term single individuals who should be the last people you take advice from. The other problem with advice is that people are attempting to rationalise emotional and illogical decision making plus present advice that won't get social pushback (a key problem with self-reported studies on attraction) which is why we constantly hear of the "soulmate", "you'll find someone when you aren't looking", "just lift and touch grass" and "personality is key to attraction".
    4
  49. The ironic thing being with the abolition of the Winter Fuel Allowance for many pensioners, there will be women now who will be chasing a younger, financially capable man to support them in order to survive. There was also a plan to abolish the Single Occupancy Discount but that is looking like it won't go ahead.
    3
  50. And if they do, men in mass numbers will quit dating. If the court wants to drive a wedge between the sexes and bring in a population collapse, they will uphold these charges.
    3
  51. Another chameleon. Imagine my shock!
    3
  52. That's not as far away from the truth than you think, particularly the second half of that sentence.
    3
  53. It is increasingly becoming impossible to meet someone outside of the Internet. People assume that approaching women in real life is "creepy" unless you're very attractive and could get away with that. The increasing assumption of society is that online dating is the only appropiate place to meet women and there is an increasing demand for there to be a way to stop unattractive men being able to send unsolicited, unwanted and unrequited messages and right swipes to women online and communicate offline.
    3
  54. ​ @yourlocalcurrycel6717  Correct. The problem is that the reality of biology and human mating is that a) it doesn't care about your feelings, b) it is incompatible with the profitability of self-help gurus and coaches; and c) uncomfortable truths cause offence, people play cognitive dissonance and fill that gap with belief and ideology such as the concept of a "soulmate" which also informs the good faith but ultimately damaging advice people are given (see also, religion and the afterlife).
    3
  55. In fairness, the red hot poker would be far less painful and traumatising.
    3
  56. On average between men and women, 1 in 6 chance of finding a significant other at 40, 1 in 20 at 45. Times that by thirty if you are neuroatypical (ie. autism). And that's an average, the likelihood the odds are even worse for long term single men compared to pre-selected divorced men. Odds aren't good.
    3
  57. Also Scotland: "when will the Police arrest all the men who are not interacting with women because the new law covers that"
    3
  58. I'm no fan of giving the Government more power to censor. I'd rather educate people and let those who still want to face the consequences of their actions.
    3
  59. Been left alone since my early teens, made homeless the second I finished school and now approaching 40. I'm at the point now where it would be a massive culture shock if someone decided to live with me I am that used to being alone.
    3
  60. We now have conservative commentators praising single motherhood, polygyny, harems and children out of wedlock. Joining the left wing in the same principles. What a time to be alive.
    3
  61. At this point, its more like looking for a job in an employer's market when the majority of jobs have been automated and only the CEO's, large business owners and heads of asset management corporations can get a job.
    3
  62. Oddly enough, the chances of you finding a tradwife with all the qualities Joker put into Grok is also roughly the chance an autistic male has of finding a significant other at 45 years old.
    3
  63. Taken sideways. Without lube or pain relief.
    3
  64. Herein lies the problem. Meeting in real life has collapsed statistically outside of bars and nightclubs while it's become a social taboo to make an approach in public. What's the alternative? The dating apps know it and can exploit this for financial gain while they are for profit companies.
    3
  65. And now there are increasing calls for them to only have an abundance of wanted male attention by getting rid of and potentially criminalising the unwanted male attention. Where your average man moves from being invisible and getting limited to no response to being banned from dating apps for not meeting the threshold for attractiveness or even arrested and charged for unwanted communication.
    3
  66. If the identity of the man is revealed and gets to the manager, he probably won't be working at Starbucks any more. She will have cost him his job.
    3
  67. And who pays the Government? That's likely to be men. Government is fine with this.
    2
  68. They would be exposed in the press, they would become a laughing stock in the eyes of every commentator, their reputation would be destroyed and they would be cancelled.
    2
  69. They're not single in their 20s either. All the long term successful relationships (at least one decade) I know are women who met their partner at high school or in their early 20s at the very latest.
    2
  70. The delusional optimist - "so you're telling me there's a chance" The grounded realist - "odds aren't good"
    2
  71. I'm guessing they're doing this to appease YouTube as they don't like that sort of content and subsequently suppress it in the algorithm.
    2
  72. Have you seen the posters put up on lampposts in Bristol in the UK in the last week where they state that flirting, compliments and asking for a phone number is harassment under the law and therefore, by definition, illegal? Too dangerous to flirt and ask a woman out now. If she shames you on social media, it gets to the press and then your employer finds out you did it, you've bought the organisation into disrepute and you're fired. Not worth the risk of your career, your home and your reputation any more.
    2
  73. From a recent video from Love Made Logical that looked at revealed preferences, physical appearance and status tend to come before income. While income is important, looks and status are even more so.
    2
  74. Supporting her in secret even though due to social desirability bias, won't say it publicly.
    2
  75. Probably the only way to avoid this if it does become a new law. Saying that, other countries will take inspiration and follow suit.
    2
  76. A new law is already being planned in the UK. They're not just coming for men's content.
    2
  77. Read the consultation report "Misogyny – A Human Rights Issue" that forms the news articles on this issue. A lot of stuff, even being involuntary celibacy and being rejected will become a crime if the SNP go ahead and make those recommendations law. Even watching and listening to this channel could land you in jail.
    2
  78. That is like scalding a homeless man living in the gutter for not earning seven figures at that precise moment.
    2
  79. This will be the one thing that will have them go full u-turn on that concept.
    2
  80. It's already spread to banks, not for the employees but the customers.
    2
  81. "Just get off the apps" and shoot your shot in the real world? Where? Because if you ask anyone, they will just point you back to the apps. Women told men not to approach them in the real world, we are now seeing new and existing laws that criminalise cold approach. People do not want to be approached by strangers in the gym, at church and at social events in that regard. Warm approach is dying out with stigma and consequences for men who try it. It's even worse if you are middle aged or older and your friend circle has gone because they found partners and started families.
    2
  82. They'll probably have to remove the spicy stuff come July when new requirements in the UK come in.
    2
  83. Politicians are actively introducing new legislation into the UK. The media is misrepresenting what is coming by saying it only covers cat-calling and wolf-whistling. In reality, it will cover a lot of unwanted communication and behaviour and will be very broad and vague.
    2
  84. Something to bear in mind, I watched the whole thing last night, Brand predominately worked with Channel 4. One of the contributors suggested that the broadcaster is jointly responsible for what happened. So either Channel 4 did a smear job and have destroyed their reputation or is responsible for the harm inflicted on several women. Which is it, Channel 4?
    2
  85. If you are dating in your thirties and beyond, you are being compared to her ex's. And not the negative aspects of her ex's. If you don't measure up, physically and metaphorically, and have the experience in dating and relationships at that point (you can't lift or bench-press your way to experience in a gym) as well as all the other characteristics you already needed, you're done. Thanks to social media, there is now a keeping up with the Jones's attitude to preferences which means everyone's bar rises and most men won't reach it.
    2
  86. I like Alex's YouTube channel on the fact that he presents the scientific data and research to back-up what is presented as opposed to just theories and anecdotes.
    2
  87. I would look into the financial models of both gambling firms and dating apps. They are very similar.
    2
  88.  @cedricbethea358  The current state of those who engaged in being a Passport Bro means they've suddenly found out that not only has modern day feminism spread to the countries being promoted but the market is over-saturated and men are competing with each other for a smaller pool of women, many now moving abroad for nothing at best.
    2
  89. A lot of the high or outright rejections are not surprising - except for tattoos. I see a good number of people in the comments saying that they refuse to date a woman who has a tattoo, but only 8% of men in the survey said would outright reject (47% would consider it a deal-breaker). By the way, Alex from Date Psychology has a YouTube channel that I know Stardusk has recommended. A number of things he says won't be liked by the manosphere though.
    2
  90. Also, there are a percentile of men who just simply aren't dating or relationship material. That's life but they are also an easy scapegoat to be "othered".
    2
  91. Could also relate to forthcoming UK online safety and age verification requirements that will see OF having to drop the adult material from the site. There is also the speculation that if anyone can not be verified as 18 or above, payment processors could remove their service from OF.
    2
  92. Misandry - the socially acceptable discrimination. And I have noticed more of it from the general public as of late.
    2
  93. I fear the solution that will come out will be profiling. If a boy in school is being told "leave me alone" by a girl, feminists will state that it is already far too late. The concept will be to remove unattractive and unpopular boys and men from society to protect women's safety. I have noticed an uptick in the UK of women being the victim of sexual crimes on the back of Tate and the forthcoming Online Safety Bill. Also, it appears the cheap and repeatedly trotted out advice of "just lift bro" to high social status tragically failed. Again.
    2
  94. You might be interested in the latest Love Made Logical video entitled "8 Charts That Will Change The Way You See Dating" which covered the same concept from another study as well as the OkCupid studies in the eight charts he presented. Again, it's what we all knew but it's more evidence.
    2
  95. Asking men to step up and do better is like scalding a small business owner - who has put everything into their business - for not being a massive multi-national corporation.
    2
  96. Going Galt will also be considered an offence under the proposal. The only way to avoid being a criminal is to emigrate. The problem is when other countries take inspiration and adopt their own version of this proposal.
    2
  97. It's only going to be a matter of when, not if, a television network creates a programme that uses AI to make matches as a shtick and then runs with it for a series.
    2
  98. And yet evolutionary psychologists, gurus and coaches tell men that they need to take accountability and responsibility for the actions of women!
    2
  99. Of course and I have my own critiques (namely as one example, the concept that men can wait until 35 and then have the pick of the 21 year olds). But we live in a time of "follow the science" and a lot of said critique seems to be diverting from "blue pill" ideology.
    2
  100. In order to stop men paying for this, you have to provide an viable alternative. Shaming won't work other than to make yourself feel morally superior, they will dig their heels in and keep paying. The questions are - what drives men to such desperate measures to get attention from women and what is the viable alternative that makes life better than what they are currently doing?
    2
  101. The BBC published an article yesterday suggesting the solution to men not having children is to make them engage in alloparenting - by raising and funding children collectively as a society. They're not even hiding it any more.
    2
  102. And the societal expectation is that it is the man who should sacrifice his family, his job, his home and everything for her.
    1
  103.  @roberthudson3386  It's nothing to you but to those who don't qualify for Pension Credit and don't have much money, it's vital. Would be even worse if the Single Occupancy Discount disappeared and that would have also hit many UK viewers who watch this channel.
    1
  104. 6'2" means you reject ninety six percent of the male population by just that one preference alone.
    1
  105. Never underestimate weaponised autism.
    1
  106. Another example of perverse incentive - dating apps. It's more profitable to keep people single.
    1
  107. What's the saying? Life's a stage?
    1
  108. Lonely single men - the group Tate, Government and society don't give a damn about (unless it's to criminalise them). If Tate did this to lonely single women, he would have been in prison a long time ago.
    1
  109. Or increasingly, a one in five chance of being reported to an authority figure for "harassment". Your life is destroyed by being put on blast on social media for being a "creep" or the Police ask you awkward questions because you took the advice of women and manosphere influencers to shoot your shot.
    1
  110.  @nickkl1988  You have discovered the cure for inherited, genetic conditions and personality traits such as autism and introversion, can change someone's voice from having a speech impediment to being a clear, confident speaker and can have men gain height without risky surgery?
    1
  111. New laws are coming soon which will require private companies and organisations to prevent harm happening to others, including unwanted communication and attention from men. Going to be fun running a dating app accessible in the UK or a gym, bar or nightclub.
    1
  112. The paradox of choice.
    1
  113. It's only misogynistic when unattractive men do it.
    1
  114. "Why aren't men approaching me?" Beside telling (unattractive) men to stop shooting their shot, a snippet from a comment I saw elsewhere: "About 18% of all women in the sample and 22% of women in the age 18-25 group stated that they reported someone to an authority figure for approaching them sexually or romantically". Why destroy your life for a rejection?
    1
  115. Something for debate in terms of a future video and something that could be reality in the UK in the future - should being "creepy" be a crime? Should the behaviour of the last man in this video earn him a speaking to or more from the police? Because in the UK there is pressure and lobbying for unwanted attention and communication to become a criminal offence.
    1
  116. "Men are the gatekeeper of relationships" I disagree based on the logic given in this video. It would be like a man going to a town gate and stating that he is the gatekeeper because he walked to the gate and asked to be let in. But who is letting him in? The actual gatekeeper. In the instance of dating and marriage proposals, that's women - who have the last word.
    1
  117. @jimbob-q3r  Men do not have the last word. Women do. Anything else is, with all due respect, cope.
    1
  118. I'd rather be factual and realistic as opposed to being blind and delusional but also I'd rather be optimistic and proactive than negative and defeatist. Not sure what "pill" that makes me. The advice from PUA's and the like telling men to wait until their mid-30s onwards before starting to date is going to be damaging and tragic advice to which we're already seeing middle aged men warning other men of the consequences of being in this situation, whether intentionally or not.
    1
  119. Female dating experts to armchair dating commentators believe they know exactly how men think better than the men targeted in this "advice". The "advice" given proves once again that is not the case. Also, the phrase "don't listen to what they say, watch what they do" applies here too.
    1
  120. Vindicated.
    1
  121. Don''t give them ideas. I could imagine if a dating app charged it would be along the lines of $3,000 a month in credit to the top 1% of men, $30 a month in credit to the top 10% of men, free for women, $30 a month for a normal looking man and $3,000 a month (and shadowbanning) for unattractive men.

  122. She did this at a time where there is already protests against British tourists and the effect on Spanish citizens. This will only embolden their campaign and embarrass the UK PM into further action against of behaviour of UK citizens.
    1
  123. I wonder if this "hard reset" that is being talked about is the concept of abolishing the concept of bachelorhood and independence (while smearing both with Tate and promiscuity) and replacing it with the concept of family and relationships? That seems to be the attitude of influential people whom are critical of the red pill, the manosphere and bachelorhood as a lifestyle choice and who claim that virtually everything said in this space is wrong and damaging. Telling everyone to "go back to the plantation" is not going to solve the issues that are apparent.
    1
  124. The skilled office workers are being replaced with AI. The skilled physical workers are being replaced by robots with AI. The unskilled office workers are being replaced with computers and the unskilled physical workers are being replaced by machinery. The only person not getting replaced is the business owner. Also bear in mind, AI, robots, computers and machines do not need a wage, a pension, sick pay, rest periods, maternity/paternity leave, health insurance, holiday, bereavement leave, vast land, building space, break rooms, to go on strike or workers rights. No human can work for pennies an hour every hour of the day, every day.
    1
  125.  @impudentdomain  I don't think they care. Ultimately no-one is entitled to a job and employers are not mandated to employ someone if they so choose.
    1
  126. I'd disagree that real world avenues to find a man are replacing dating apps, from what I can tell, they're a compliment, not a replacement and anyone saying they've deleted the apps has lied. Also worth nothing the places where men spend money and are physically attractive are the real world places where women are seeking men.
    1
  127. She gambled and she lost. Take the L.
    1
  128. There would be uproar in the press and social media and we all know it.
    1
  129. There was the real prospect of a lot of single people arranging relationships and "lavender marriages" to avoid a crippling budget this month in the UK, particularly for single elderly women, that would target singles and the elderly. Thankfully the direction the Government is going that is there will be a u-turn on abolishing the Single Occupancy Discount.
    1
  130. The ironic thing being is that the financial strategy of modern dating app industry mirrors that of the gambling industry.
    1
  131. Pearl is the gift that will give to the anti-manosphere and anti-bachelor commentators, after the downfall of Tate will come the downfall of Pearl. And they won't stop there. There are plenty of grifters and influencers giving bad advice and enacting double standards that will be easy fodder for those who are pro-family, pro-relationship and pro-marriage. It's bad enough that the pick-up artists have attracted the attention of the Scottish Government and Police.

  132. If they rewrote the bill in terms of punishment if not in the presence of a woman in a private place, it would likely get passed. There is a desire to ban vice and all outlets for males outside of a relationship or succeeding in dating because they want to punish single men for being single.

  133. I wonder how much of this income has been declared with the IRS? I'm going to go with "none". Prove me wrong. I also wonder how legally enforceable this would be if a woman took a man to court for failure to pay? Would there be a need for a man to agree to these charges prior to the date and for that to be recorded like a EULA or Terms of Service is? I suspect they know virtually all men would refuse and therefore don't disclose until after the fact.

  134. The UK Online Safety Act requires adult websites (and all other websites that are not "safe for kids") to implement age/ID verification to anyone from the UK using an ISP or via a VPN. How do websites tell who is physically in the UK without banning all VPN users?

  135. Femcels can not logically exist. As per Briffault's Law, women are the ones who decide the conditions and therefore in general, everything is a choice.

  136. Wait until you discover what they really want the makeup of society to be. If you're not a woman or a top 20% of men, you won't be a part of their society. At best, the bottom 80% of men will be paying for everything via tax and levies.

  137. And the people who privately and quietly oppose gender equality and want preferential treatment for women but publicly say they fully support gender equality.

  138. If a woman you are in a relationship with asks you to do a "performance review", walk out the door and do not look back.

  139. If it was the other way round, that person would be in handcuffs and led away by Police officers.

  140. ​ @LordWyatt With what feminists want, that's a BEST case scenario for the bottom 80% of men.

  141. "Loveless life"? That's reality for increasing numbers of men.

  142. They complain about being seen as objects yet act as if the only thing they offer to men is being an object. Complete logical disconnect right there, particularly from the "130" IQ woman.

  143. Spoiler alert - they all are.

  144. Jana Hocking discovers hypergamy.

  145. The video being referenced is "Are Dating Apps Pay-to-Win?" by Zackary Smigel. I can't post a direct link as this post would get marked as spam by YouTube.

  146. In the real world when we face bad times, emotionally stunted, grown up children who had no outlook in life were conscripted to war with everyone else. No-one complained about not having an on-site masseur in the trenches. Of course, when automation comes, we'll have millions of unemployable people because there will not be enough jobs for everyone and what do countries do when they have a population imbalance? War.

  147.  @adouloslabelh2957  They can but it's an infinitesimally small percentage of the population.

  148. ​ @eyenou8096  Considering recent events, the only way it won't pass is if Rishi Sunak enacts the Scotland Act again.

  149. I have seen that any woman who wants a man who is six foot or above is discounting 86% of the dating market. Now out of the remaining 14%, how many of them have a six figure salary? Or own their home? Or has a "nice car"? Or maintains a six pack? Or has broad shoulders?

  150. A low value man will get the other side of the equation, the accusation of being the "creep" who gives the "'ick", the harasser, the unwanted attention that is increasingly getting the attention of feminists, lawmakers and judges.

  151. I suspect the "normal" and "feminine" women are the ones who are snapped up quickly when they are young and remain in long term relationships - and those who make up 70-80% of women. What's left are the promiscuous ones, the single mothers on dating apps, the ones who have given up completely, the ones with delusional requirements, the ones who have mental health or weight issues whom won't resolve them and the ones who are so fixated on their ex being their "soulmate", no other man could ever be better than him so remain single.

  152. So... the Government believes the biggest threat to society and security is (checks notes) men not having a partner?

  153. All he has achieved here is two things - first, he's embarrassed himself and destroyed any prospect of him ever getting a date again now he is known and gone viral. Second, he has given ammunition to all those who want "creepy" behaviour and unwanted communication banned by law as we are starting to see be presented as new bills.

  154. I accept their terms.

  155. So a subreddit which actively promotes misandry and has a rule which bans men from posting is acceptable, even promoted in The Guardian, a mainstream media outlet this week, yet bachelorhood is deemed hate? Reddit has totally lost the plot and can now be actively described as being antagonistic against single men. Worryingly, the likes of AgainstHateSubreddits aren't stopping at Reddit and will follow onto alternative platforms to get those communities closed too.

  156. The ultimate goal will be to have something where men have a file on them that any woman can view, respond to (anonymously of course) and warn other women about. Think the concept behind Social Autopsy but for dating and men.

  157. Jana discovers the concept of pre-selection, well known and understood in the evolutionary psychology circles.

  158. A load of content around involuntary celibacy and the black pill got removed from YouTube in the last few days in preparation for the Online Safety Act.

  159. The next generation of "Bumble" - the entry requirement is free for all women but the entry requirement for men is so high that only up to 20% of men will succeed in creating an account.

  160. I think the 4B movement has been going on for many years with non feminist women. We just didn't notice.

  161. Something you should note is that evolutionary psychologists have moved away from the dual mating hypothesis discussed later in the video as it gives mixed results when peer reviewed at best and everyone has now moved toward the mate switching hypothesis as a better explanation.

  162. Yes. We're seeing the eventual criminalisation of being unattractive.

  163. Women also value a man's body count. Anything below one over a period of time is stigmatised.
